Adobe Drawing & Painting

Since Adobe first introduced Illustrator and Photoshop to the world, we’ve never stopped giving you new ways to turn a blank canvas into brilliant artwork. Explore our latest apps and features for drawing and painting — and get the tools to make your own masterpiece.

Coming soon: Project Gemini

Project Gemini is a new painting and drawing app for pen and touch devices. It’s designed for professional-quality work, but easy enough for anyone to use. Combine vector and raster content and simulate natural media. Project Gemini works seamlessly with other Creative Cloud apps including Photoshop, so you can send your PSD to Gemini to create beautiful artwork and illustrations with complete freedom.

We have drawing and painting down to a fine art.

Work wonders, faster.

With Creative Cloud, your apps keep up with your ideas. Use Adobe Capture CC to turn photos into one-of-a-kind colour themes, patterns, stencils and brushes. Quickly lay down perspective in your drawings using built-in grids in Adobe Photoshop Sketch and Illustrator Draw — or make customised grids from your own photos. Create perfectly symmetrical brush strokes with virtually no effort in Photoshop CC. And count on Photoshop brushes to deliver fast performance and stroke smoothing for clean, elegant lines.

So real, it’s unreal.

Stay in your creative zone with digital tools that feel and act just like the real things. Paint with watercolours that bloom naturally on your canvas in Photoshop Sketch. Work with scratchy pencils, creamy pastels and hundreds more Photoshop brushes from master illustrator Kyle T. Webster. Plus, get ready for new technologies that simulate different types of paint and let you mix paints with realistic results.

The world is your studio.

Illustrate whatever you want, wherever you are, with powerful drawing and painting apps on all your devices. Start a sketch or watercolour on your smartphone and then sync it to your desktop to refine it in Photoshop or Illustrator. And save favourite brushes, patterns and shapes in your Creative Cloud Libraries to instantly access them for any project.
